Episode transcript
Stewart Alsop III00:08

Hi, my name is Stuart Allsop and this is my podcast, Crazy Wisdom, where I interview creative people about how they work with and manage the stress that is inherent in creative work. What I've realized over the past 10 years of my research is that anybody who is creating something of value that is significantly different from what has come before considered crazy. Most of us have a fear, an ingrained fear of going crazy. So what I'm saying is grab onto that fear, realize that it's there, and just go with it. Because the problems we're going to be facing over the next 20 years require crazy people in order to solve them. So welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. My guest here is Vinay Hieromath.

And he is the co founder of Loom, an awesome service that you can use to make short videos that you can send to people. An engineer and psychonaut and avid rock climber as well, or aspiring rock climber, right?

Yep. Yeah.

Welcome to the show, Vinay.

Vinay Hieromath01:20

Thanks for having me on.

Stewart Alsop III01:21

Yeah, it's a huge pleasure. I started using Zoom, or I started using Loom.

Vinay Hieromath01:25

Happens all the time. We have the same exact name. It's ridiculous.

Stewart Alsop III01:30

One letter different, but very different products, though. And Loom I started using when I was doing a coding course about three years ago and they were using it to do basically code reviews. And it's a really cool product. I really enjoy what you guys have made.

Vinay Hieromath01:46

Awesome. Appreciate that. Yeah.
